This book is a collection of thoughts and observations on various portions
of the Tao Te Ching, the writings of Deng Ming Dao, and observations about
the Taoist way. There are no claims of rightness or wrongness in what is
said in these pages. This book grew out of a need to provide a peaceful
reading for those who seek a Way in their travels through life and through
what we in the world call "the journey." This collection of thoughts is
comes from a place from where the reader can start to find a peace of mind
in what is a very difficult time in many of our lives. Far too many times,
we are caught up in what we both literally and metaphorically call
"fighting" for our identity. Our journey becomes a "war" between the
traveler and the rest of the world, in and through which the individual
must navigate in order to survive and to evolve. When one constantly fights
for one's survival, it is easy to lose the other side of the dual - peace.
As you read through these meditations remember, there is no right or wrong
in this book; only your thoughts, brought to bear on an issue, as seen
through the eyes of your history and your life experience. Each time you
read a page, there is something new to be learned; something new to be seen.
"This book is a gift of inspiration and insight for those who experience
gender fluidity or want to explore the nature of transgenderism. Tarynn
artfully weaves the personal and the philosophical, creating a tapestry of
gender and Taoism with threads of self-discovery and renewal."
--Randi Ettner, Ph.D., author of "Gender Loving Care" and "Confessions of a Gender Defender."
